Research Interests
Doctoral Project: Sustainably establishing a technical debt management process
In our previous interview study, we found that IT managers
- think that technical debt management (TDM) is an important topic,
- concede that establishing a TDM process is their duty and
- have the capabilities in form of budget and time responsibility to establish such a process.
However, non of our interviewees had a TDM process set up. This is called a status quo bias, i.e. a cognitive bias that presents itself as an irrational preference for maintaining the current state of things.
The aim of this project is to develop and evaluate in practice a guideline that describes how to create and maintain awareness of TD and how to implement a TDM process.
The guideline should combine the individual TD activities (recognizing, recording, prioritizing, repaying, etc.) into a sustainable TDM and be transferable to different contexts (companies, meeting structures and issue trackers), with a focus on agile companies/teams and a collaborative design of the TDMprocess.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
- How can a TDM be established sustainably?
a. What steps are necessary for this?
b. What obstacles are there and how can they be circumvented?
c. What are the similarities and differences in different companies/contexts? - Can the introduction of a TDM raise awareness of TD?
a. What impact does the TDM have on which stakeholders?
b. Are there differences in different companies/contexts? - What effects, e.g. prevention of TD, discussion culture, decision-making, etc., does a TDM have?
To answer these research question, I will perform action research studies in three teams of three different companies introducing a TDM process in five steps. Each step includes a workshop to make decisions based on the teams preferences, follow-up action, and evaluations of the actions effects. Based on these results, I will then create a guideline (possibly an online course) on how to establish a TDM process and evaluate this on two more teams from the same companies.
This project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany as part of the Software Campus.
